- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The ongoing situation in the Middle East has impacted current market conditions resulting in heightened volatility in crude oil, and refined product prices in 2026. The situation has also increased uncertainty over energy supply chains, including potential disruptions to production and transportation routes, and risks to infrastructure in the region, as well as heightened focus on operational safety and security. In addition, there may be potential impacts on realised prices, offtake imbalances (including underlift and overlift positions), and margins. The event is considered a non-adjusting event after the reporting period, as it relates to conditions that arose after 31 December 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
